Geopolymer Solves Coral Castle Mystery

How could a 100 pound man carve giant blocks of coral weighing up to 27 tons (54,000 lbs.) and move them into position single handedly? How could someone carve a 9-ton gate so perfectly aligned that it can be pushed open with one finger? Coral Castle in Florida was built by one man, Edward Leedskalnin. From 1923 to 1951, Ed single-handedly carved (or so it’s claimed) over 1,100 tons of coral rock.

The article below by Jim Solley demystifies the whole process by pointing out the most realistic solution — the ‘stones’ were actually made with homemade cement. Leedskalnin always worked under cover of darkness to keep his building method secret. Creating an air of mysteriousness and keeping the process a secret enabled him to make a living from tour fees. One interesting clue is Leedskalnin claimed to know how the ancient pyramids were built.

“I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools, raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!” —Edward Leedskalnin

First, I want to say thank you Mr. Geiger for all the great work you do!! I come to your earthbag and geopolymer site everyday. I really do however have to disgree with Mr.Solley. Even IF the castle had been made with geopolymer it does not solve the mystery. After it was built it was dismantled and moved to a new location, where it was rebuilt. The driver of the “moving truck” told his shocking story of the move. He would leave the truck and come back much later as Mr.Leedskalnin insisted. This was due to the fact Mr. Leedskalnin would allow no one to see him work. One day the driver came back in only a half hour or hour. The driver was just too interested in how the old man was loading and unloading the massive blocks. Even though the driver had come back way too soon he was flabbergasted to find the truck was half loaded already. Mr. Leedskalnin then rebuilt, in a very short time, the castle in its new location. The block and tackle found after Mr. Leedskalnin death was much too weak to move even the smaller blocks. In photos taken of Mr. Leedskalnin “work rig” there was always a small box with wires at the top of the three poles he fixed his block and tackle to. What this box was or contained has never been discovered. This is a modern mystery that is still unsolved. Thanks again for all you do.

What you’re saying may well be true. I skim and post articles quickly and don’t have much time to read all the details. Maybe the blocks were hollow. Maybe he invented or built a generator, etc. I can’t speak for those things. But it sure seems like he discovered a geopolymer formula. There are various clues in the photos. One photo shows the entrance sign that looks like cement.

You all failed in observing all the evidence. Jim Solley didn’t reveal anything but his manufactured imaginary theory without even going to the site. To see, to touch, to smell, to feel to know what it is like to walk around the garden.

He doesn’t explain the box on top of the tripod, he doesn’t explain how Ed would move such manufactured stones that have been proven to be over 9 tons to 12 tons. How did he move them? He didn’t have mounts binders or fillers or any of the cement making equipment on his property.

Ed even published his solution in the news-paper so everyone could read it and it would be preserved in history. Magnetism!

This is his life’s work. People in town knew him, there are family stories abpit him and people who knew him from 1930’s, 40’s and sadly 1951.

He was independent, strong willed and understood what the ancient Egyptians where saying on their walls where they recorded the solution once again. It’s on the walls for crying out loud.

Ed also visited Philadelphia where the HQ is of the Masonic Temple. There is a lot of math involved which the ancients knew about and most likely excelled even beyond today’s current knowledge.

Lost & Found knowledge is a theme around the world. Jim Solley has soiled himself as a very poor scientist in this matter.
